Adv/Disadv of Turning off ur headlights pag naka-stop

**yebo** · May 12th, 2006 09:33 PM

i turn on the fog lights pag medyo sunset na. pag madilim na on na ang headlights pero low beam lang. never ako nagha-high beam sa city, always on low beam. bastos mga naka-high beam sa city. on ko lang high beam pag merong kasalubong na naka-high beam or naka-HID tapos sabay kabig ng konti sa left bwahahahahaha!

kahit daytime basta pag umuulan i turn on the driving lights and foglights. pag malakas ang ulan on pati headlights, on low beam lang. why? para mas madali ka makita ng ibang vehicles. why? kasi yung side view mirrors nila syempre basa at yung mga water droplets sa mirror ay pwede cause yun para di ka makita. pag naka-on lights mo kita ka. kahit nga yung mga vehicles na sumusunod sa iyo, lalo na kung sira na wiper blades at laging basa na yung windshield nila, e di ka agad makikita pag malakas ang ulan. turning on the lights makes you more visible to them.

sa intersection at naka-stop ako, i turn off my headlights kasi courtesy sa mga nagle-left turn na vahicles para di sila masilaw sa headlights ko. malay mo dahil naka-on headlights ko e masilaw sila tapos di nila makita yung pedestrian na tumatawid, e di kasalanan ko pa di ba.

pero pag biglang may nag-cross sa pedestrian lane na ***y aba ibang usapan na yan! high beam agad yan!

FYI : ang Honda XRM (underbone)naka design ng A.H.O. (Always Headlight On)
kya lang ang mga technician/rider ay pinalalagyan nila ng switch ,
para pag day time ay hindi naka ON ang headlight ,
kaya minsan nakakakita kayo sa road na kahit tanghali tapat may mga motor na bukas ang headlight normally all stock pa ang mga ito

I turn it off when the car is stopped to reduce eye strain.

pareho kami ni sir yebo, high beam lang kapag may kasalubong na naka-HID. pero hindi ako kumakabig sa kaliwa, binabagalan ko lang takbo ko. silawan na lang kami.

minsan naka on headlights ko kahit day time kasi nakakalimutan kong patayin pag labas ko ng tunnel hehehe.
btw, bakit nga ba may mga modelong sasakyan sa states na naka A.H.O. (Always Headlight On)?

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are mandated by law in Canada and some states. It's for safety.

ahahaha :bwahaha:

great example of the old saying "a penny wise but a pound foolish".

risking your safety to save 0.00001 of a centavo to prolong your headlight life by some ridiculously small margin :evillaugh

As Otep mentioned, it's for safety, an additional aid to be better seen by other motorists, even during daytime. Ang daytime kasi doon hindi kasing liwanag sa Pinas. Can't quite explain it. Parang early morning lang sa atin?

Never turn my headlights off while I'm still in the middle of a trip at night, even if I park for a while (unless I really park long in a sense that I turn off my engine). Based on experience? Well, whenever I park a while, I turn off my fog lamps and set my headlight to dim (lowest setting). When I get back in the car? I leave without remembering that I set the lights at low. Only while driving will I realize. And to think my car's black. After experiencing this twice, never changed the setting of my lights til I get to a complete stop and engine off.
